OUR BEST ALLY IS A COMPASSIONATE ELECTORATE THAT IS WELL INFORMED ON THE CONDITIONS OF INCARCERATION. OVER THE LAST YEAR, IAHR HAS SPONSORED INNOVATIVE ONLINE PROGRAMMING REGARDING CONDITIONS OF CONFINEMENT INCLUDING INTERVIEWS WITH SIGNIFICANT AUTHORS, PROGRESSIVE PRACTITIONERS, AND RETURNING CITIZENS. IAHR HAS CONTINUED TO ADD NEW PARTNERS TO ITS WORK WHICH NOW INCLUDE ARNOLD & PORTER, RIGHTS BEHIND BARS, FREE MINDS BOOK CLUB AND WRITING WORKSHOP, MUSLIM ADVOCATES, AND THE VIRGINIA INTERFAITH CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO BUILD OUR ADVISORY COUNCIL OF OVER 20 FAITH LEADERS IN OUR REGION, TO HELP GUIDE AND ASSIST IAHR IN ITS WORK AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH 49092 0 0 ADVOCACY: IN 2022, THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY TOOK ANOTHER STEP FORWARD TOWARD ENDING SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE STATES PRISONS. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, THE VIRGINIA SENATE VOTED TO LIMIT SOLITARY CONFINEMENT TO NO MORE THAN 15 CONSECUTIVE DAYS, PASSING SB108. THIS BILL WAS WRITTEN BY THE VIRGINIA COALITION ON SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, ORGANIZED AND STAFFED BY IAHR. THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES, WHILE NOT READY TO JOIN THE SENATE IN IMMEDIATE REFORM, DID PASS A SUBSTITUTE, BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE, THAT RAISED THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY OF THE ISSUE BY ESTABLISHING A WORK GROUP TO STUDY THE USE OF RESTORATIVE HOUSING (SOLITARY CONFINEMENT) WITHIN STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES AND JUVENILE CORRECTIONAL CENTERS. IN MARYLAND, DELEGATE JAZZ LEWIS (D.24TH DISTRICT) SPONSORED IAHRS LEGISLATION, HB67, THAT WOULD MANDATE THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONAL SERVICES TO PROVIDE TRANSITIONAL SERVICES TO ANYONE IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR RELEASE. IAHR HAS PROMOTED THE BILL AS SAFEGUARDING PUBLIC SAFETY AS WELL AS PROVIDING NEEDED SERVICES TO INCARCERATED PEOPLE SOON TO BE RELEASED. THE MARYLAND SENATE PASSED HB67/SB977 WITHOUT OPPOSITION. 30683 0 0 PEN PAL PROGRAM: OVER 4,600 D.C. RESIDENTS ARE INCARCERATED IN 122 PRISONS AROUND THE UNITED STATES. D.C. RESIDENTS ARE INCARCERATED IN PRISONS FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA TO UPSTATE NEW YORK. D.C. RESIDENTS IN PRISON OFTEN FEEL VERY ISOLATED SINCE THEY ARE OFTEN INCARCERATED SO FAR FROM HOME. IN 2022, APPROXIMATELY 125 IAHR VOLUNTEERS SERVED AS PEN PALS, WRITING TO AT LEAST ONE D.C. RESIDENT INCARCERATED IN A FEDERAL PRISON ONCE A MONTH FOR A YEAR. A KEY GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THESE INCARCERATED PERSONS WILL COMMIT CRIMES AFTER THEY ARE RELEASED. 122731 true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 3 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false X CARL BERGMAN 2026697700 PO BOX 9731 ARLINGTON VA 22219 X KIMBERLY SNODGRASS CHAIRPERSON 10.00 X X 0 0 0 CARL BERGMAN TREASURER 10.00 X X 0 0 0 LIONEL ANDRE VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 REV WANDA THOMPSON DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 JAY WILLIAMS DIRECTOR(LEFT IN 2024) 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN SHUCHART DIRECTOR(LEFT IN 2024) 2.00 X 0 0 0 LAUREN CHAMPAIGN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BEZDEK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARY BOHAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ARNIE PODGORSKY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN LIST DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN STURC SECRETARY 10.00 X X 0 0 0 PASTOR ZACHARIASMay-Dec EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 15.00 X 40625 0 0 RABBI FEINBERGJan- May EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 15.00 X 31625 0 0 72250 0 0 0 false false false 183593 183593 3 0 3 183596 0 0 3 72750 50925 7275 14550 69750 48825 6975 13950 12425 8698 1242 2485 2526 0 2526 0 4970 0 4970 0 5550 0 5550 0 673 471 135 67 7572 5301 1514 757 7518 7518 0 0 993 993 0 0 BOOKS SUBSCRIPTIONS 2010 0 2010 0 186737 122731 32197 31809 36210 12934 9217 33217 3154 727 48581 46878 2324 5996 2324 5996 X 46257 40882 46257 40882 48581 46878 X -3141 -2234 X X false false false X 0 110112 204973 217876 249048 183593 965602 0 0 110112 204973 217876 249048 183593 965602 0 965602 0 0 0 965602 1.00000 X 0 0 0 0 100 100 186637 186737 37347 9337 0 0 49034 52598 52598 37347 191577 287366 38700 42500 42500 100 123800 12259 13150 13150 9337 47896 71844 8100 13100 13100 0 34300 Pt VI, Line 11b THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM.
